A workshop & life log
ZeroDrek
This is where I keep track of what I'm building, breaking, and slowly getting better at — home network runs gone sideways, hand-tooled leather armor, a media shelf unit built board by board, and whatever the garden refuses to do this year. No polish, just the log.
On the bench
All projects- Leather scale cuirass Tooling a leather cuirass for ren faire ranger kit.
- Media shelf build Building a media shelf for physical storage.
- Garage insulation & drywall Waiting on a weekend that isn't miserable to work in.
- Home network rewire Ran proper ethernet from the garage router — no more Wi-Fi excuses.
